I studied Hindi A1 level for 2 weeks with Priya and Riya at Zabaan in Delhi. Both are extremely knowledgeable, patient and effective tutors. Also, they are genuinely kind people, and it was a pleasure to get to know them. They're both very experienced and accommodated for my slow learning pace and thick Australian accent! If you need language tutoring in Delhi, I can't recommend them enough!

We greatly enjoyed the 5 day course called Boli Vaapas on the Punjabi language through poetry. Harsimran was a great advocate for reviving Punjabi. It was a well designed and researched course. For each poet she generously shared a list of resources so we can delve deeper into the subject. We also did fun proverbs and words that are fast disappearing. We look forward to Boli Vaapas part 2 in July.

ZABAAN 학원에서 약 2달 동안 수업을 들었습니다. 예상외로 델리에서 외국인에게 힌디어를 제대로 가르쳐 줄 수 있는 선생님을 찾는게 쉽지 않습니다. 생각보다 만나기 힘들어요. 다른 학원의 힌디어 선생님은 만나면 Hinglish를 너무 많이 사용하거나, Devanagari 철자를 정확하게 알려주지 못합니다. 반면에, ZABAAN 에서는 힌디어를 배우고자 한다면, 실력이 검증된 선생님들이 많이 계세요. 세계 각지에서 온 여러 외국인들을 가르쳐본 경험을 가지고 있습니다. 델리에서 힌디어를 배우고 싶다면 이 학원을 추천합니다. 특히, Anita 선생님 덕분에, 제 힌디어 실력이 많이 늘었어요. 기초적인 문법, 동화책, 영화, 유튜브 등 여러 매체를 사용해서 학생 수준에 맞는 수업을 진행합니다. 힌디어를 배우는 외국인이 어떤 부분을 자주 헷갈리는지 이해하고 계십니다. 한국인을 가르쳐본 경험도 많이 가지고 계셔서, 한국인이 어려워 하는 부분을 이미 알고 계셔요. I've studied at ZABAAN for about 2 months. Surprisingly, it's not easy to find a good teacher in Delhi who can properly teach Hindi to foreigners. They're harder to find than I thought. Other places' teachers either use too much Hinglish or can't teach Devanagari spelling accurately. But ZABAAN is different. The teachers there actually know their stuff. There are well-prepared teachers if you want to learn Hindi. They have experience of teaching foreigners from all around the world, no matter where you from. If you want to learn Hindi in Delhi, I recommend this academy. This is the place. Especially, Thanks to Teacher Anita, my Hindi has improved a lot. She uses a variety of materials(basic grammar, storybooks, movies, YouTube ...) to adjust lessons to the student's level. She understands what foreign student, no matter their native language, often get confused about. 我在ZABAAN学院学习了大约两个月。 其他学院的老师要么使用太多的Hinglish，要么不能准确地教Devanagari写。 另一方面，如果你想学Hindi。 ZABAAN学院有资质很高的老师。 尤其要感谢Anita，我的Hindi进步很大。 如果你想在Delhi学印地语，我强烈推荐这所学院。
